How do I get CLE credit for a webinar?

If you attend one of our audio webinars we will send all attendees an email immediately following the webinar with instructions on how to obtain CLE credit. We will request that you reply to that email with your state and bar number so we may apply for credit in your state. Once your state approves the course we will then email you the certificate.

Please note that some states do not approve online webinars. Please be sure to check with your state for their policies for online courses.

If you have any additional CLE questions please do not hesitate to contact the FBA’s CLE Administrator, Latisha Harrison at lharrison@fedbar.org or by phone at (571) 481-9108.
